About this album

<< ENGLISH >>

Four friends from Sao Paulo, Brazil, gather to create the experimental rock band Inverness. The name comes from a dream, a recurrent theme in the group's work.

Four organic instruments (Voice, guitars, bass, drums) join samples and effects that add a very special and crucial touch to each song, something very rarely seen in the brazilian music scene of today.

2009's “Forest Fortress” paved the way to their new work “Somewhere I Can Hear My Heart Beating” released this year, a bold move forward.

Although only writing in English, the group uses brazilian musical elements in a varied and innovative fashion. Their influences range from Brazilian Popular Music to indie rock, and this shows through on first listen.

THE ALBUM

"The idea maybe really is to broadcast the existence of a place where we can hear the sounds of our organs at work, a place we can find shelter from everyday life" says a member of Inverness, on the topic of their upcoming album.

On their 2009 debut "Forest Fortress", they explored the relations between the concrete structures of a metropolis and the organic forms of nature.

On "Somewhere I Can Hear My Heart Beating" they take on the much bigger task of building a place to feel life in a different way.

Fans have already had a taste of what was to come with the first single "Cloud Liquor", which has a beautiful video directed by André Vicentini.

On the new album, the group sticks with experimenting with the structures of pop music, but delve into new influences and textures. Brazilian music, for example, can be heard more clearly and is mixed carefully with different timbres and effects that were laboured over a year's work.

Everything was different from last time: most of the recording work was done at home and in varying studio sessions, the whole thing assembled as time passed, finally settling into form.
